£3.6m to live in a basement ( and ground floor)

This flat apartment has gone up for sale with five different estates agents. It is £3.6 million for a ground floor and basement flat with a horrible cinema room.

I want to buy this house and renovate it to a lovely house

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/163240124#/?channel=RES_BUY

clearly decorated to be lived in by a single male 

There's 2 decent pubs within about 100 yards if that helps your buying decision.

 I don't know whether I'd be more concerned about the 4 x vaults in the flat or the "obvious body inside" bricked up fireplace / alcove in the house.

I used to live very close to where the flat is.  It is reet fooking manky round there

I'd have to disagree.  If by that you mean that there is a council estate a couple of blocks away then that is undoubtedly true, but there is almost nowhere in central London where it would not be true.

I good friend of mine lives real close in and loves it.

not my taste. I'm with strutter on the area and not wang. I suspect that is overpriced by approx £1m

But, and with the greatest respect, you r both London w**kers

Greys inn road area is gash as wang says.

Most of resi London is next to utterly shite areas, for that reason I'm out

heh I spent the summer of 1986 living around there - in the massive block (originally a nurses residence?) through St Andrew’s gardens … I used to drink and watch World Cup matches at the Calthorpe Arms with printers on a break from picketing the Times building …

Looks like a POCA sale and/or upmarket knocking shop.

Heh, in our urban hellholes miles away from great pubs, great restaurants, historic buildings, cultural centres, et cetera et cetera et cetera

I can walk to a Michelin star restaurant if that's aimed at me

Grays Inn Road has many great mews streets and its own community fyi.

London doesn’t need Tate Bros torture dungeon style renovations of Georgian marvels btw. Anyone with some sort of dodgy trim lined beard smelling like a footballer needs to be kicked out l 

The Great James Street house would be great. Lamb's Conduit Street on your doorstep outweighs the slightly pokey rooms.

Lovely big waitrose just round the corner, walk to anywhere in central london or the city in about half an hour, couple of decent gyms on your doorstep.


All rather marvellous actually.

And very close to the Waterstones on Gower Street.

I think that's a bit unfair on VB, decorated by a blind person.

That is truly vile, The picture window opening onto a drainpipe is hilarious however. 

Guys, I live in stabby zone four this area would be a step up for me

I thought you lived in liverpool.


So stabby z4 would be a step up in itself!

The first job I had after school was off grays inn road.  It’s a great area. Lambs Conduit Street is peachy. You can spend a week different bar and resto lunch dinner daily. Retirement beckons 

Oh Wang, have you not checked the ROF spreadsheet lately?


I moved back to my stabby flat last year, I couldn’t cope with the deprivation/accent in the north any more 

There's certainly a lot of employment for youngsters around there Cookie.  Were you selling rocks or turning tricks?

Tend to agree with wang and rodge, anywhere near GIR is not somewhere I’d want to live ALTHOUGH strutter is right there are good pubs nearby, including ofc the Lamb

I like the cinema room tho
